Inspirations II: Works by Studio Art Quilt Associates N. CA/N. NV Region

What inspires artists? Is it their environment, the people in their lives, minute observation, grand passions, perhaps the act of artistic creation itself? The exhibition Inspirations II is the result of twenty textile artists taking personal inspiration and, using a wide and inventive array of materials and techniques, turning it into a work of art that expresses their unique voice. The works in the exhibition, shown in this catalog, were created by members of the Northern California/Northern Nevada Region of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and first shown May 5 through July 3, 2016 at FiberSpace in the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. The exhibition was juried by Terry Jarrard-Dimond.
